    He is mentioned in his father's DN and farmed at Shenfield, next to Tea Fountain. He was a Field Cornet for 26 years and was then appointed a JP in 1900.

The obituary in the Grahamstown Journal of the same date extends sympathy to 'his widow and other members of the family', perhaps implying that he had no know surviving children, as the obituaries in this paper usually give the number of children and grandchildren.
